Set Up a Snow Golem Guard Line Around Your Property

Snow Golems are cheaper to make than Iron Golems. This pack redesigns them as armored guards too, so a row of them along a wall looks like a security patrol.

Build each Snow Golem

1. Collect 2 Snow Blocks and 1 Carved Pumpkin per golem. Make snow blocks by crafting four snowballs together in a square.

2. Stack the two snow blocks vertically.

3. Place the carved pumpkin on top. The golem appears right away.

Arrange the guard line

• Keep them out of warm biomes and rain. Snow Golems take damage in hot biomes such as deserts, and they also take damage from rain or water. Give each golem a roofed post, like a small guard booth with an overhang.
• Pen them in place. Snow Golems wander like other golems. Put each one in a one-block nook or behind fences so it stays at its post.
• Space them along your wall or gate. Snow Golems throw snowballs at hostile mobs. The snowballs do no damage to most mobs, but they knock attackers back and distract them.
• Mix in an Iron Golem at the main gate for real protection. Let the Snow Golems handle the perimeter.

Snow Golems leave a snow trail when they move in cold enough biomes. Fencing them in keeps that trail tidy around your base.
